Farm Journal Quilt Patterns, 1937 and 1939
The patterns got all mixed up when I was grouping them by print size. Only a few of the individual patterns include a date, so I am no longer able to tell which envelope most of them came from, but it’s either 1937 or 1939.
This group includes two pieced patterns and two appliqué patterns; one of the appliqué patterns (Summer Flowers) has geometric shapes giving it the look of a pieced pattern. I’ve never liked stitching these, because I think it’s very difficult to keep all those angles straight. I’d rather sew a complicated pieced pattern than one of these.
These instruction sheets have only a tiny illustration of the finished block, so I enlarged it for each pattern. Click twice on the template page to enlarge, then right click to save the image which can be printed in the original size on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper.

I love that Christmas Rose pattern, even if I don’t do applique! It is an intriguing pattern, as is summer flowers! Thanks for sharing Martha, hopefully soon I will get back to sewing!
Hugs, Mickie

Summer Flowers is pretty, but I’d never applique it, either. Wonder if it could be converted to a pieced pattern?
Thanks for posting all these vintage patterns, Martha.

Thank you for these! I have to make a baby quilt and have been struggling rather desperately to come up with an idea for it. I think Turkey in the Straw may just be the solution. Thank you, thank you!

I learned to piece with Georgia Bonesteel and her lap quilting book. I remember trying a star with sharp points and I sewed and resewed it several times and never could get the points right.
Now days I see the same block, cut up into sections with a rotary cutter and pieced without having to be so precise on the points…. it just works out!!! Got to try it again one day!!
